“It was so calm, so clean, and so pure – I had never been to a place like this before.” Jen shares why the Adirondacks are so dear to her heart, and takes you on an Adirondack island camping excursion with her friends.

The boundary of the park, known as the Blue Line, can be found etched on historic records and clearly defined on modern maps. Encompassing 6 million acres of public, constitutionally protected forest preserve, as well as privately owned land, the park – in a word – is epic....

The newly-formed Forest Preserve District of Cook
County (FPDCC) made their first purchase of 500
acres of land west of Quentin Road in 1916. Next

preserve its official name) which ultimately
